Which one has more passengers, Zhenbeibao Film and Television City or Shapotou Tourist Area?

What’s more amazing is that I feel for Ningxia because of a song called "Ningxia". The bright rhythm is accompanied by the singer’s intellectual voice, which makes people unconsciously yearn for that sunny day. The world of translucent water, although "Ningxia" is about a peaceful summer, has nothing to do with Ningxia. However, I was still moved, fascinated by the land north of the Great Wall and south of the Yangtze River, fascinated by the mystery of the Xixia Dynasty, and fascinated by the love between Tengger and the Yellow River. I have been busy with life, and finally now I can have a glimpse of Ningxia.

The sun was shining brightly that day. I set out from Taiyuan and encountered Ningxia. . . . . .

(The whole journey is 700km, takes 8 hours, the whole journey is on high speed, and the road conditions Very good and in a good mood)

Today is the first day of travel. We started from home early in the morning and walked along Xinjinci Road to the Guchengying Toll Station (Taiyuan). Turn onto the Yuncheng/Luliang direction and get onto the Dayun Expressway. It was only around 7 o'clock when we were on the expressway. I was in a happy mood along the way, listening to the music and stepping on the accelerator (of course, I also paid attention to safety, haha). It was very We soon transferred from Dayun Expressway to Qingyin Expressway, passed Luliang, and arrived at the Wuding Expressway section. When it was almost 12 o'clock, everyone was tired, so we stopped at the Jingbian Service Area to rest and eat something. We continued our journey from east to west. In the afternoon, we turned from Wuding Expressway to Qingyin Expressway in the direction of Yinchuan and passed through Yanchi County. The ancient Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was winding in the same direction as the expressway. We arrived in Yinchuan in one go and left the Yinchuan toll station. The bustling city Gradually came into our sight.

We stayed at the Keda Hotel. After putting our luggage away, we still didn’t feel tired, so we walked around the city of Ningxia together, and ate some authentic Hui snacks nearby in the evening. ~

Self-driving tips:

I always feel that self-driving tours should stay in more comfortable hotels, because self-driving tours are not like self-guided driving, and you don’t have to put in effort. In order to ensure the next day In your driving state, a good sleep is very important. The Keda Hotel where we stayed is located on Qinghe South Street. The hotel has a good environment. The reservation phone number is: 0951-6021698.

In addition, in the southeast of Yinchuan city, that is, under the Qingyin Expressway, after entering the city along the highway, you can see many hotels, including star hotels, express hotels, and small hotels opened by individuals. There are countless hotels. Here are a few that I think are good: Liupanshan Hotel (0951-4013547); Ginza Hotel (0951-6020777); Silver Spring Hotel (0951-4081688)

The next day: Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City, Xixia Royal Tombs—Shapotou

(Yinchuan—Shapotou, 244km, 2.5 hours)

Today’s destination The city is located in the Western Film and Television City and the Western Xia Royal Tombs around the urban area of ??Yinchuan. After leaving the urban area of ??Ningxia and heading north, in just half an hour, a building like an ancient castle appeared in the empty wilderness - Zhenbei Fort arrived.

When I first arrived at Zhenbeibao, my friend said that I felt a special sense of familiarity. I think it’s true, because this is a well-known western film and television city. Many famous film and television dramas, such as "Wrangler", "Red", "Sorghum" and "New Longmen Inn" were all filmed here. The Ming and Qing cities erected on the wilderness are simple and open-minded. The ancient stone mills and flags fluttering in the wind make people feel like they have traveled through time and space and returned to a certain era in the past.

After spending a morning in the film and television city, I had lunch at a small restaurant near the film and television city, then drove to the Xixia Tombs and headed south along G110. After half an hour, I arrived at the foothills of the towering Helan Mountain. Tombs of the Western Xia Kings.

The Western Xia Royal Tombs are located in the western suburbs of Yinchuan City, at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, and are adjacent to the towering Helan Mountain. There are nine imperial mausoleums and more than 140 tombs of princes and ministers. After more than a hundred years of erosion, these royal mausoleums lie there quietly, telling people about their past glory. The yellow sand is long and the wind and smoke are curling up. This scene is extremely vast.

Under the guidance of the tour guide, we visited Haoling and Shuangling. The tour guide’s explanation was very interesting, and what he said always made people think about the mysterious Xixia Dynasty.

After visiting the Xixia Royal Tombs, it was still early, so we drove to the Shapotou Scenic Area in Zhongwei and the Desert Hotel deep in Tengger. The Desert Hotel is located deep in the scenic area, next to the rolling hills of Tengger. Huangsha is the only desert hotel in China. The interior is exquisitely decorated and the guest rooms are warm and comfortable. The moment I saw the lights of the hotel, I suddenly felt as if I had returned to my long-lost home. The lights of the hotel were like A kind mother lights up the street lamp for her child and waits for her child to return from afar.

Tips for self-guided tours: The climate in Ningxia is relatively dry, so you need to drink more water and pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing in the desert.

The third day: Shapotou: the encounter between sand and water

On the second day, we parked our car in the hotel parking lot and took a sightseeing off-road vehicle in the scenic area Heading to the scenic spot, you can see camel bells ringing along the way, and the sun is shining directly. This rough place outside the Great Wall makes people can't help but let go of their usual restraints, and just want to ride around in this world.

Shapotou is a representative desert, an oasis. The desert nurtures this land. Here you can not only appreciate the vastness of the northwest wilderness, but also feel the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. The surging Yellow River flows through this place, as if it does not want to disturb this place. It quietly waits for this land together with the yellow sand. The ancient river bend turns and water flows, irrigating the land on both sides. Sand and water meet at Shapotou. , blended together perfectly, this situation is so moving that people are inexplicably moved.

When we arrived at the destination, we began to enjoy the scenery, including the Jiuqu Ancient Ferry, Yellow River Waterwheel, Mingsha Ancient Ferry, Wangwei Observation Deck, ancient desert plank road, Yellow River zipline, and sandboarding on the beach. . . The sun is setting in the west, but I am still nostalgic for the aftertaste. As evening approached, we rode camels at the camel farm and started walking towards the Desert Hotel deep in the Tengger Desert.

Evening fell and the sun set in the west. Amidst the sound of camel bells, we witnessed the sunset in the desert! I never knew the sunset in the desert could be so majestic! Compared with the sunset on the sea, the sunset in the desert seems more open and magnificent. No wonder the ancient pastoral poet Wang Wei would write here such a popular song as "the solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is round in the long river".

In the sound of camel bells swaying, the sun gradually sets in the west, the rolling sand dunes seem to be sleeping, and the world seems to have never been so quiet. In the evening we drank in the desert bar, and the clear camel bells seemed to penetrate deeply into the world. Gradually, I felt that the buildings around me became ancient, and I seemed to be wearing medieval clothes, returning to the long yellow sand, where countries in the Western Regions traded with China. of prosperous dynasties.

At the end of this strange Tengger, I was drunk and crazy

A group of people walked out of the bar and walked towards the Desert Hotel. The moon rose. The night is also deep. . .

Day 4: Shapotou-Tonghu Grassland: Miracle in the Yellow Sand

The next day we woke up naturally after sleeping and suddenly looked outside , we saw endless yellow sand and soft rolling dunes. For a moment, we thought we were dreaming. Later we thought that we were in a desert hotel in the hinterland of Tengger. We had been here for so many days and we didn’t even notice it. Hotel rooms offer views of the desert landscape through their windows.

After packing up our gear, we had a lot of fun in the scenic spot. During this period, we also looked at the grass grid sand control project regarded as a miracle at home and abroad, and looked at the quiet flowing water not far away. The Yellow River, the heart of admiration arises spontaneously, looking at the endless desert, everyone's heart also calms down.

In the afternoon, everyone drove to Tonghu Grassland. Tonghu Grassland is located deep in Tengger, at the junction of Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces. It has a Mongolian style. From a distance, it looks like ten Several yurts are gathered together in the vast hinterland, creating a unique artistic conception. When we arrived, the sky had already darkened. We lit a bonfire on Tonghu Grassland and danced and had fun while eating roasted lamb legs. The firelight illuminated everyone's faces and everyone was very happy.

We played until very late. Everyone was tired, so they stayed in the yurt in Tonghu Grassland and fell asleep quietly surrounded by the grassland

The fifth day :Goodbye Shapotou: I’ve been here and never left

(Shapotou-Taiyuan, 798km, 9 hours)

Early the next morning, we faced the sun The rising place left Shapotou and spent three pleasant days in Ningxia. Especially the time spent at the Shapotou Desert Inn was unforgettable for each of us. On the last day, we took a tour of Teng The infinite nostalgia of Grid Desert left Ningxia, goodbye Shapotou! ~We came in a hurry, the sand in Shapotou remembered us, the water remembered us, we have been here before and never left. . . . . .
